I am not going to dwell on the dreadful past months, because I am ready to move forward and onward…
BUT… (I love BIG buts)
I can’t step out into the New Year until I share a bit of my NEW MOON Adventures!!!
I am going to start it off with my son’s favorite family time choice…
One day, last year I was on youtube looking for any footage of my friends and I at the Twilight LA premiere Nov 2008; and found a brilliantly made parody of Twilight. Well as you may or may not know I am for sure Twi-hard!! The Hindi sisters’ talent is off the grid, so I investigated their page and found Nevada’s real jackpot.
Hurray for HiLLYWOOD!
Zuko and I watch The Hillywood Show often. It is one of the things he can choose to do for our family time after homework is finished.
Zuko is a huge Jack Sparrow fan! We love Hillary as Jack and Willy Wonka. We are also Star Wars Addicts, so The Hillywood Show is a great combo w/ an extra side of fries (teHee). I suggest you check them out and start from the beginning… you will be awed by the talent of these two ladies.
So why do I bring them up??
1. Because their New Moon Parody just has to be shared, and
2. We met the cast at a local charity event for SD’s annual Mother Goose Parade.
Hillywood and Zuko
Zuko is very shy unless he is on stage. We paid for the “Star Treatment” and let him walk the red carpet.. Lets just say he was a natural…LOL
But when it was time to meet the cast of The Hillywood Show, he became star struck and forgot his age, when they asked him …lol We got their autographs, and he stared at that piece of paper for 3 days.
Then came the L.A. premiere of New Moon!
Of Course we had to make another trip to L.A. but this time things were different this year because the “crazy people” came up days early to see the cast. We had to come up the night before, which was extremely early, unlike last year. At Twilight’s premiere we showed up at 2pm the day of, and met so many actors and singers. I shook hands with Peter Facinelli & my friend got a wave from Jeffrey Dean Morgan (only because she was climbing the rails and screaming so loud I think the Pope heard her in Italy).
So we squatted on the sidewalk as soon as we got there.. which was about 10pm.
Sleeping on the sidewalk
But one of my girls decided it would be a better idea to get a room, since camping was not her thing…lol
The line to get a wrist band and possibly meet the stars was ridiculously long. It was 20 blocks long maybe more, and we were about 20 people behind the last to get wrist bands. I left the line to find a “just in case” spot, which became our best bet, because someone yelled out, “they’re not giving anymore bands out!” And the crowd went frantic and made a run for the theater. I hear it was a huge mob of screaming moms, daughters, & grandmas -but I missed it =(
One of my friends has a shattered iPhone because of the crazy stampede. But in the end it was a blast, and we got tons of pix of all the stars, and a few waves from our favorite stars and famous fans.
Here are a couple of my proof pix from New Moon Premiere…

He found us!
Jeffrey Dean Morgan Waving to us again this year <3
It was such a blast! We met new Twi-hard fans again this year.. and this year they were from SD, also …lol
I know it looks a bit obsessed, but I love the books, and SD is so close to LA… I figured if we don’t do it now -then when? It is always in the spirit of fun, not stalking celebs.
The Twilight series has started a huge sort of book club for me and my family/friends. We have all fallen in love with either a wolf, vampire, or both. Mainly because we are all Christian women, with hearts that skip a beat for moral, passionate, and gorgeous men (heeX3)
My aunts, cousins, friends and I deepened our bond through the Twilight book series, and some of us have moved on to another fun and exciting fantasy series -The Mortal Instruments.
2010 holds many more adventures… Eclipse movie Premiere and a spin off book from The Mortal Instruments series =)
I am very excited! 2010 here I come!!!
